What To Expect
Located in the heart of Lisbon, the Carmo Convent is one of the city’s most striking landmarks. Partially destroyed in the 1755 earthquake, it is now known for its impressive open-air Gothic arches. The site also houses an archaeological museum and offers a unique atmosphere, blending dramatic ruins with Lisbon’s rich history.
Located along the Tagus River, Belém Tower is one of Lisbon’s most iconic landmarks and a powerful symbol of the Age of Discoveries. Built in the 16th century, this Manueline-style fortress once guarded the entrance to the city’s harbor. With its intricate carvings, balconies, and turrets, it offers a unique setting, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site and a must-see when visiting Lisbon.

5.00An amazing and perfect experience with a teenager. You could see much of Lisbon’s beauty without getting tired. Stéphane is an attentive guide and who knew how to answer all our questions. We were able to make photo stops or visit, in short, I highly recommend. Finally, I confirm that we are perfectly settled!
Superb day

5.00I highly recommend this tour. It is a great introduction to the beautiful city of Lisbon. We were picked up by Stephane who was lovely - funny, informative and attentive, making sure we were comfortable. He brought a range of helmets and found one to even fit my huge head! He brought hoodies for us to wear when we were crossing the bridge , which were much appreciated! The bike was very comfortable and I particularly enjoyed sitting pillion as you were a bit higher and could see, but the sidecar was great too. We had a lovely morning and wish we could come back to explore more of lovely Lisbon soon
Incredible experience

5.00Great fun ….a cool way to explore the city of Lisbon and surrounding landmarks. No other motorbikes with side cars spotted which makes this company unique. Fred our guide was attentive, good local knowledge and kind. Certainly the most memorable motorbike ride I have ever had! Loved it… good value and a great way to see Lisbon within 3 hours…..dodging cars and tourists was fun too!
